Lemon Raspberry Fluff: Sweet whipped cream and zesty lemon curd are whipped together and layered with smashed fresh red raspberries for this delicious 10 minute dessert!
When I think of spring time, I imagine light fluffy desserts made with berries and citrus. This Lemon Raspberry Fluff fits both of those categories.
I know a lot of you are still buried in snow and cold weather, but here in Florida everything is blooming and it’s been in the 80’s for the past two weeks. It’s officially Spring time here.
Actually, I am currently battling an awful sinus infection from all that blooming. Every morning our cars are covered in so much pollen they are solidly yellow/green on top.
So to soothe my sore throat and non-stop pounding head, I am going to eat ALL of these Lemon Raspberry Fluffs. I’m pretty sure the vitamins in the lemons and raspberries can cure me.
Or at the very least, I will be happy with a full stomach while I sit here feeling awful in a pile of tissues and nyquil. Either way, I”m good.
You only need a few easy ingredients to make these Lemon Raspberry Fluffs and you probably already have most of them on hand!
I like to make my own Lemon Curd, but if you don’t have the time, this brand is a great alternative. You can find it at Publix or Walmart.
And yes, before anyone asks, of course you can use any other type of fruit you would like! I personally think strawberries or blueberries would both be awesome alternatives!
Not only is it gorgeous, but it also travels very easily. It’s the perfect dessert to bring to a party or bbq! Just remember to keep it chilled. Bonus: It’s gluten free — just in case someone like my husband is there. 😉
I hope you enjoy this Lemon Raspberry Fluff as much as my family does!

Served for a Homemakers Society banquet. Everyone loved it! Wanted a gluten-free dessert that featured fresh local raspberries and this hit ALL the marks. Bonus is that I also had edible flowers to garnish it with.
Hi Terra, they turned out perfect and I love the flower decoration on top! Glad everyone enjoyed them!!
Great dessert! I needed enough for 12 people so used small single serve dessert cups like in the restaurants. I also strained the juices from the raspberries as much as possible so it would hold up over night and not go throughout the fluff. Everyone was impressed! I also thought the sugar amount was good and went well with the tartness of the raspberries.
They were the perfect finish to my dinner party. Wondering were to find the little cups you used in the photos. They are adorable.
Hi Carol! Glad you enjoyed it! The jars in the photos are actually Oui yogurt jars! I save them for single serving desserts like this. Just soak them in hot soapy water and scrub off the labels!
Delicious and easy to make. Next time I will cut down the amount of powdered sugar.
These were so delicious!!!. I was invited to a friends house and I brought these for dessert. They couldn’t stop raving about them. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Could this be frozen? Looks so good
Hi Cici, I would not recommend freezing it. There is a good chance it will separate when you thaw it out again.
When this says serving size is 8 how big of a container are you using?
I need to make 150-200 of these and will be using a 2 oz dessert shooters.
Hi Erica! The full recipe will fill one trifle bowl, or 8 mason jars (about 4 oz each, but I don’t fill all the way to the top-top). I would recommend doing a trial with the 2 oz containers you will be using to see how many 1 recipe would fill. Then you can easily do the math to see how many you would need! I would think each batch of the recipe would fill about 16 2oz jars, but I can’t say that with 100% certainty. Hope this helps!
I made this in martini glasses for a dinner party. It was the perfect light dessert after a big meal. I also made key lime pie in a glass, so they had a choice. Both were big hits.
We loved this, very easy and tasty.
Wow this lemon recipe is very appetizing! It certainly made my mouth water!
